The display will show the last selected programme and
the indicator lights options selected with the last

The corresponding indicator lights will illuminate if

Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans,

saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.
Slide the baskets back into the machine.

6. Measure out detergent

If you select the "half load" option remember to reduce
the quantity of detergent.
Close the detergent dispenser lid.
7a. Setting and starting the programme
without "delay start"
Press the "programme selection" push button until the
required programme number appears in the digital
display (see "Washing programmes" chart).
If you wish to see the duration of the programme you
have just selected, ONLY with the door opened, press
the Cancel push button.
Select one of the following options (if desired):
- half load (in the digital display the programme running
time will be updated).
- drying options
Close the door, the programme will start automatically
and an audible signal advises you of that.
The display will show the running time (in minutes) of the
programme.
7b. Setting and starting the programme
with "delay start"
Once a programme and required options (see point 7a)
have been selected to use "delay start" proceed as
follows:
Press the "delay start" push button. The digital display
will show "h 0". Press the button again to select the
number of hours by which you wish to delay the
programme start (up to a maximum of 12 hours).
If previously half load and delay start have been
selected, the corresponding indicator lights will turn off
but don’t worry, the settings made remain memorised.
To set the time setting to zero press the "delay start"
push button until "h 0" appears in the digital display.
Close the door. The start of the countdown will be
confirmed by an audible signal and a flashing dot after
the number in the digital display.
The opening of the door will not stop the
countdown.
Once the delayed time has elapsed the programme will
start automatically and in the digital display will appear
the duration of the programme.
To cancel a delay start in progress, open the door and
press the Cancel push button. The delay start will be
cancelled without modifying the previous selection of the
washing programme with relative options. In the digital
display will appear the number of the programme.
8. To cancel a programme in progress
Open the door and press the Cancel push button.
An audible signal will inform you that the programme has
been cancelled and in the digital display 3 horizontal
lines --- will appear (for about 2 seconds), after will
appear the number of the programme just cancelled.
The dishwasher has now returned to setting mode and it
is possible to select a new washing programme.
9. At the end of the washing
programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and an
intermittent audible signal will be heard when the
programme has ended (when the delay start has been
selected the audible signal of "end of programme" is
automatically excluded).
3 flashing horizontal lines (---) will appear in the digital
display and all the indicator lights will turn off.
Open the door and press the On/Off push button.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this
way they will be cooler.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
Important!
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the
machine is working; if the door is opened however, a
safety device ensures that the machine stops.
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot
phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as
steam may escape.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
